Mr Brain's Favourite        
Format: Longways duple.      
Dance: Francis Carter, about 1998, for Dennis Brain.
Music: Marin Marais "Le Basque" 2/2 A = in Barnes as "Kneeland Romp"

A1:	First corners back-to-back.  Two-hand turn 1.5 (to change places)
A2:	Second corners the same.

B1:	(12 bars): Half double figure eight (ones cross up, twos cast to start). [all own side, progressed] 
        With the next couple, handy-hand turn (men (left file) R, women (right file) L). That's 1s through the middle first. 
        Face partner: set and turn single. (This is your new home.)

B2:	Ones lead up through original twos and cast back.  
        With the next couple, circle left half-way; two-hand turn partner half-way.  
        With that same couple, circle left half-way; two-hand turn partner half-way.



Dennis Brain was the top horn player in the world for many years.  He often played this piece as an encore.  
Francis says it's necessary to stress that the dance is a single progression, not double.

APW: pretty naturally gender-free.
